mininova’s 2 billionth torrent!
p2pnet.net news:- mininova has clocked up its 2 billion torrent download!
Wow!
And this impressive milestone has come less than five months after it announced it’d achieved its first billion.
“This is very good news,” mininova says on its blog.
“It means our site is growing exponential: the amount of total torrent downloads roughly doubles every half year. And more downloads means more exposure, so more content available on our website.”
The post also includes an extremely interesting breakdown of download numbers per category, which shows TV content as Number One, with music and movies significantly behind in second and third positions.
“Of course this is not the end,” adds mininova. “If the growth keeps continuing we might be able to reach the 4 billion mark by the end of this year! Watch out, Apple iTunes …”

Tired of being treated like a criminal? They depend on you, not the other way around. Don’t buy their ‘product’. Do bug your local politicians. Use emails, snail-mail, phone calls, faxes, IM, stop them in the street, blog. And if you’re into organizing, organize petitions, organize demonstrations and then turn up on your local political rep’s doorstep, making sure you’ve contacted your local tv/radio station/newspaper in advance. Don’t just complain. Do something!
